The McDougall 10-day Live-in Program in Santa Rosa, California
 The McDougall Program is all about gaining freedom from medical
businesses and having control over your future health. These goals are
accomplished by participants stopping all unnecessary medications,
avoiding surgery, and regaining their lost health and appearance. Sick
people see doctors, healthy people don't. Medical care is provided to
each participant personally by John McDougall, MD. Attending this
program is the only way to become a patient of Dr. McDougall. There are
no gimmicks here—the results come simply from a very nutritious diet,
exercise, improving daily habits, and stopping medications with their
unpleasant side effects. Unfortunately, these changes are not easily
accomplished by people on their own; so the 10-day program is designed
to help them do exactly that.
Most people tell Dr. McDougall that in less than 10 days they feel
better than they have in years (See
Comments). Our patients' average weight loss is 4
pounds (2 Kg) in 7 days—that's half a pound a day—while eating unlimited
amounts of delicious foods, served buffet-style. Significant
improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood
sugar are seen. (See common problems that the McDougall
Program treats successfully.)
Most (over 90%) people are able to stop their medications for
hypertension, type-2 diabetes, arthritis, indigestion, and constipation.
Those who must stay on medications are often able to switch to simpler,
safer, more effective, and less expensive ones. Another important
objective is for participants to understand their health problems and
how to resolve them. For those patients who are interested, this part of
the education often goes deeply into basic and current medical research.
People worry that their own private doctor will be upset if they stop
their drugs—they shouldn't be; after all, sick people take drugs—healthy
people don't. Besides, Dr. McDougall personally expends every effort to
help people make a smooth transition back to their private doctor and
the "real" medical world—and when appropriate, he is happy to talk to
their own local doctor.
John and Mary McDougall are at the clinic every day, for almost every
meal.
This clinic experience focuses on the practical, with the primary
goal of people continuing the program long after they leave. Mary
McDougall takes people shopping for foods at the markets and out to
lunch at local restaurants, twice. By the end of the 10 days, everyone
knows exactly what to do to regain his or her lost health. That is one
important reason why the McDougall Program success rate is over 90%.
In addition to John and Mary, the professional teaching staff
provides cooking instruction, supervised exercise, and an in-depth
education on the psychology behind successful change.
The facility is a quality hotel with all of the amenities of a first
class resort: luxury rooms, full service spa, tennis courts, the
largest, most beautiful swimming pool in Northern California, modern
athletic club, and first class dining and education centers. Frequently
program participants say, "That was the best vacation I have ever had!"
Deposits and payments for this program are fully refundable until one
